What is your salary in Pakistan?
Started my career in Feb 2011, my base salary was 40k PKR/$400 which was above my expectation honestly speaking. By 2012 I was earning 65k and in 2013 85k.Resigned in April 2013( it is a long story ) and started freelancing + entrepreneurship( failed ) but then my average monthly income from freelancing work was $3000 even $5000 for some month.Right now, working about 50–80 hours a month on freelancing projects, and earning around $3000 rest of time is spent with side project, contributing on open source projects, family, and quora.
